Sunrot is an incident that describes when an overactive sun creates devastating effects on earth’s populations. The story takes place twelve years after the event of Sunrot happened, and shows how a young boy in a Baluchian tribe in eastern Iran becomes identified as being in possession of a very special intelligence. The leadership of earth wants to rebuild the technologies that it had before Sunrot, and they have special schools where they send the brightest students. They test students for entry into these special schools, and this Baluchian boy, whose name is Terran Kahn, is identified by their system as having an IQ that is literally off the charts. The leadership wants him, and they send a team to extract him from Mashhad, Iran. The problem is that the tribe, from which this boy is from, believes he is the Mahdi. The Mahdi is prophesied to be the one who unifies all religions into Islam. There is a great conflict between the Baluchian tribe and the new world leadership as they fight over possession of this boy. Meanwhile, Terran has his own vision, and that is to prevent another Sunrot.

The conflict of the story is about who controls the incredible one-in-a-trillion intelligence that Terran possesses, and for what purpose this intelligence is used. Terran knows he needs to have access to the best teachers on the planet, and so he wants to leave his tribe, and be taught. He does not want to be the Mahdi, however, the question is, does he have a choice?
